ENT 260 - Solid Modeling with SolidWorks3 credit hours - Two hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory weekly; one term.
Learn to use SolidWorks, the next generation of 3D CAD software. SolidWorks is a fully editable solid-modeling CAD software used to produce 3D drawings of solid models. The course will start by first discussing 2D entities, then gradually creating 3D solid models and then finally integrating those models into an assembly. The student will also learn how to extract drawing views from 3D solid models. This course assumes a basic knowledge of orthographic drawings. Lab fee $35.
Location(s) Typically Offered: Arnold Main Campus (MC)
Term(s) Typically Offered: Fall, spring, and summer
Course Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Create 2D sketches using various sketch tools and constraints.
- Demonstrate proficiency in creating 3D models from sketches using extrusions, revolves, sweeps, and lofts.
- Understand the concept of parametric modeling and utilize dimensions and relations to control model geometry.
- Create and modify parts using features such as fillets, chamfers, holes, and patterns.
- Understand the principles of assembly modeling and create assemblies from parts.
- Utilize mates and relationships to define the spatial arrangement of components within an assembly.
- Create exploded views and assembly animations to communicate design concepts.
- Understand the basics of drawing creation including views, dimensions, annotations, and bill of materials.
- Generate 2D drawings from 3D models and understand the principles of drawing layout and standards.
- Understand the basics of rendering and visualization within SolidWorks.
